20 years old and want to get my CDL

I would wait until you're 21 if you are planning to go with a mega company. If you go to school now, it will be four months before they hire you and four months since your CDL school. They may frown on it.

In my perfect world,people would join the military for four years and then decide what they want to do.

 

I think getting class A is a great idea at 20. I sure as #### wouldn’t be anxious to go over the road.

 

Military a great idea. I did that for 4 years.

 

I'd go now. No sense waiting if it's what you want. I wouldn't rush out to go otr though. Unless you really want to. Find a local Class A job where you're home daily, and enjoy your youth.

 

If you have no interest in college or schooling right now then i think its a good idea. You'll probably change ypur mind real quick after a few years out here . save up money so once you find out what you want to do....your set.

Ill be 26 years old this year, driving for three years. Im planning on going to school to become a diesel tech or some kind of vocation. I still want to be involved with the commercial trucking industry. Im only concerned about driving my life away, but i still love big rigs, and this whole industry.

 

Look man there is no rush. Your young do it however you want.. just be ready when you turn 21.

 

And what company does your cousin make 7k a month at

 

Yeah you have a valid point there
